Do I have to import anything special to get the System symbol into
the current namespace or is System a builtin in JPython ? E.g.
would

def java_vendor():
   return System.getProperty('java.vendor')

work out of the box on JPython ? (Don't have a working jpython
installation here at the moment to test this myself.)

Thanks,
